Famous quotes containing the words images and/or doors:

    “As individuals and as a nation, we now suffer from social narcissism. The beloved Echo of our ancestors, the virgin America, has been abandoned. We have fallen in love with our own image, with images of our making, which turn out to be images of ourselves.”
    —Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

    “Oh Lord! Open the doors of night for me
    So that I may leave this place and disappear.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
